P-01 and Hazel Leather holster was involved in a motorcycle wreck at 65+ mph, barrel and slide crammed with georgia red clay and holster scuffed a bit, but after a little cleaning, it still shoots teeny holes in paper, and i can chase a Pepsi can all the way down the 50m range. i actually like the scuffs on my sidearm, reminds me it's not a Safe Queen!

Just received my P-01 from Top Gun.The slide actually reads "CZ-75 D compact" (but not "PCR"). It has a light rail, which the D PCR does not, and in all respects as far as I can tell it is a P-01 in D's clothing (Euro version of the P-01?). NATO NSN is there on the slide and the box it came in called it a P-01 (serial number on box and gun matched). Thought at first that I'd been sent the wrong model, but was assured by Top Gun that it is indeed a P-01. Took it to the range today and put 50 rds thru it. Call it anything you like; this is one GREAT pistol. This is the beginning of a long love affair I think. Smooth, amazingly accurate, good looking, feels perfectly balanced in my hand, and kicks like a kitten. Not even a hint of a FTF or FTE in the first 50. Why would anyone pay 3, 4, 5 times the price for a different 9MM when they can own a CZ-75? Beyond me.

I'm interested in purchasing a compact CZ in 9mm. I like the look of the PO-1. I can't find a dealer around here that stocks the CZ's, so I'm thinking of ordering one sight unseen from Bud's, where I got my single action. I have a CZ75 B SA, which I like very much, but I'm now looking for a smaller, compact piece to join it. I have smaller hands, and grip size of my 75 SA is o.k. for me, but I would like a more comfortable handle that would be a little thinner in circum . I tried different size, and thinner wood grips from the CZ Custom Shop on my 75 SA, but I went back to the factory stock grips, for I grip the gun more securely with them on the pistol. my question, would the PO-1 frame be thinner in the grip than my 75 SA, or is the 9mm compact PO-1, and the 75 Compact basically the same size pistol as my 75 SA, but with only a shorter barrel, and height? Would the Compact 75, and the compact PO-1 grip the same as my SA, or a little thinner in the handle? Thanks, TC

I bought a P01 for that very reason. I have somewhat smaller hands. The standard 75 feels better than most guns to me, but the P01 feels like it was made for me. I haven't measured anything, but I can tell you it feels a little smaller.
